This quarter saw my portfolio achieve a 4.78% gain, resulting in a profit of SGD 21,000. This includes SGD 3,800 in received dividends and SGD 11,000 in booked dividends. I currently project total dividend income of approximately SGD 20,000 for 2025. My investment strategy, initiated in January 2022 (marking the start of a new investment cycle coinciding with the US Fed's interest rate hikes), focuses on a low-risk approach. The period since has been challenging for Singapore dividend stocks and emerging markets due to rising interest rates and a strong US dollar. Despite this headwind, and contrary to my expectations, higher and prolonged interest rate increases, my portfolio has surprisingly outperformed the Nasdaq by 1.3% over the past three years. This underscores the subjective

Will it optimistic outlook from end of 2025 for Nvidia ?
Nvidia's GPUs are powering the AI arms race $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Nvidia rose to become one of best AI stocks (if not the best) because it sells graphics processing units (GPUs) and the infrastructure to support them. GPUs are one of the more popular hardware options for training AI models because of their excellent computing ability and versatility. GPUs can process multiple calculations in parallel, which makes them incredibly fast at processing complex calculations. While some types of computing equipment can outperform them, this requires the workload to be set up in a specific manner, which may not be possible depending on the situation. As a result, GPUs have become the go-to option for many AI hyperscalers. This has caused Nvidia to del

Intuitive Surgical: A Precise Investment or Just a Surgical Strike?
A Business Model that Cuts Both Ways $Intuitive Surgical(ISRG)$ has long been a leader in robotic-assisted surgery, but its recent pivot towards a usage-based revenue model is making waves among investors. Traditionally, hospitals had to shell out a hefty sum to acquire a da Vinci system outright, a significant capital expenditure that slowed adoption. Now, with operating leases and usage-based pricing, hospitals can integrate the technology with reduced upfront costs, expanding Intuitive’s reach into smaller medical centres and emerging markets. This shift is not just about accessibility; it fundamentally transforms Intuitive’s revenue dynamics. Instead of one-off system sales, the company now benefits from a steady, recurring stream of payments

Can AppLovin (APP) Power Up Further With Sustainable Business Model?
$AppLovin Corporation(APP)$ stock was up 4.08% on Friday (28 Mar) but at time of this writing, the 24-hours trading saw APP drop by more than 5%. So can this tech stock really have room for more upside since it has shown that it can rise after steep drop? So what could be the ingredients to help it to rise again. If we looked at the in AppLovin CEO comments that their business is technical and it is often hard for some who does not understand their technology to understand and figure out what APP is building, which is the world's best advertising AI model. So he think that investors would need a simple narrative that APP is violating policies in order to comprehend their success. This complexity leaves room for short reports to stir fear and doubt.
What's go up must come down! Simple law of Physics. No more blame game here. Trump's tariff threat has been there even before he wins the election last November. Every Americans who voted for him knows that. They voted for him despite that... I don't know how you interpret that. The market doesn't seem to believe his threat until it happens. Just kind of strange... Or perhaps a sign of complacent. The good times since COVID has been too long that people forget those pains decade old. Subprime crisis is just a bedtime story of a distant past for the newcomers post-COVID. Perhaps even a myth... The market has been climbing highs after highs. Valuation has been thrown out of the window. Growth stocks and mainly the so-called Magnificent 7 led the charge. It's like the Christm
